I have to eat something--even if it is a tiny fun size candy or something.
What I try to do is bring a mini Clif or Luna bar or granola bar or something like that. I find that if I don't let myself eat anything, I just eat something else bad later. It's all about planning!

It has always been my habit to buy popcorn and slather it with butter and salt any and every time I go to the movies. Not a small, either- no, it always has to be a large! Sure, my hubby and I might share that large popcorn, but then since you get free refills on larges, we'd share a refill, too. I LOVE LOVE LOVE salty, buttery popcorn!

Last night we went to see the Hunger Games and I am very proud to say that I did NOT get popcorn. I had eaten supper before we went (which wouldn't have stopped me before), so I passed it up.

Not only the movies, when I sit around bored and have nothing better to do, I find myself sneaking in little snacks too

I'm normally not a popcorn fan at the movies, simply because they put WAY too much salt on it and the butter tastes like crap
But...
I'll down a box of Dots halfway through the movie. @.@

I wish I was only eating junk food there...I started going to the CineBistro out here xDDDD and getting an App, entree, and dessert...usually shared but I'm sure they are not skimping on calories(can't find any nutrition info online)...

i definitely like my share of buttery salty hot popcorn at the movie theater....however due to the high prices up here in alaska we only go once a year, maybe twice, with the kids to see a movie that they've been waiting for...its a big deal LOL

I am crazy about kettle corn - I'm afraid to even look at the caloric information of that!!! I may have to start sneaking in popped baggies of 100 cal kettle corn instead

One of the advantages to being a woman is being able to carry a large purse without anyone blinking an eye.

Use that to your advantage and sneak in food that is good for you if you need to have something while watching the movies
